Ugh ... I've just unboxed my x800m2 and I can confirm the bug on the LG C1. The LG C1 internal player looks fine.

Ahhh! Now I understand ... The problem is between the older players and the newer TVs. Sorry for all the questions!

it's not a player bug.
It's Dolby's faulty implementation in newer TV.

I thought if you use the LG CX/C1 internal player then it's OK?

If it's the TV then I would expect that to not work?

Yeah, this Dolby Vision stuff is really complicated.

What's the interaction between the player (x700/x800m2) and the TV (LG C9, CX, C1, etc) ?

If the bug is in the player, then why does the TV make a difference?

https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=124752#p124752 Thanks ... I've read that but I'm confused especially regarding the Oppo 203. This player was regarded as the best (ie. "reference quality") but nobody has noticed this bug for years? (and no reviewer mentioned this problem wh...

Regarding the L1 bug that was recently discovered, does this affect all movies?

Do all movies use L1 information? If not, can I check if a movie contains it?

Does this only affect newer UHD/DV movies?

I'm struggling to find a good way to play FEL movies now...

I wonder if this would allow me to play DV TS + LPCM 7.1 via EARC to my ARC AVR. https://www.thenaudio.com/product/zone-2-earc-audio-processor/ I have almost the same exact product ( SHARC v1 ) but I haven't used it yet. I ordered it a while ago but never used it on my LG CX but I'm going to try on...

Thanks ... hopefully it hasn't shipped yet. I purchased both an x800m2 (received from Amazon) and oppo-clone (m9201, not yet shipped). I have an LG CX and LG C1 but they don't support DTS or any lossless, right? I've been trying to understand everything to get a "complete" UHD playback set...

Darn! I've just ordered an oppo-clone but now I guess I should cancel it before it ships?

Can anybody with an oppo (or clone) test this?

Does it also have the bug?

ok - thanks ... I'll give it a test tomorrow on my CX and C1.

By the way, do you prefer the x800m2 instead of the oppo 203 (or clone) ?

Oh, sorry... I don't have the oppo player yet. (I've order the chinoppo m9201 but it hasn't shipped)

This stuff is incredibly confusing...

If you can explain the test I can test using both an LG CX and LG C1.

Regardless ... does this mean the "chinoppo"/oppo are pretty much the best players?

Are there any ELI5 (explain like I'm five) guides for Dolby Vision?

I've tried searching but I can't find anything really straightforward to explain RPU, MEL, FEL, etc.

Is it possible to decode and play Dolby Vision movies on a PC monitor?

For example, the Alienware AW3423DW (34" Ultrawide, QD-OLED, "HDR") doesn't support Dolby Vision but can software decode the Dolby Vision and display it instead of having the monitor decode it?
